About the play

What happens when a wife unexpectedly comes home?

Everyone is in shock at what she finds. No one has any idea how or why they ended up in this situation, and despite their efforts, the truth keeps slipping further and further away.

But where does the truth lie? Are the “Germans” to blame, is it voodoo magic, or is everything part of someone’s diabolical plan?

Critics call Sébastien Thiéry’s plays “elegant boulevard theatre” and compare them to the works of Ionesco and Beckett.

The witty dialogue and jokes that push the boundaries of propriety sometimes cross the line, but they are interwoven with surprisingly serious themes. Combining vaudeville and comedy with the theatre of the absurd, Two Completely Naked Men became a sensation at Paris’s Théâtre de la Madeleine and was nominated for the Molière Award in 2015.
